This is how it works"The Image Archive" may store virtually any image format, including
psd-files. On upload the image is copied and converted to jpg. A jpg
copy is shown to the user on the web. This procedure ensures the image
archive to be completely web based and thus be used as a distributed
image handling system.

Stored images can be described, categorized,
tagged and searched after. The search result is shown as thumbnails.

Selected images may be exported in any size and format (lika BMP, JPG, PICT), or be exported to a CMS tool to be used on the web.

Allready existing image libraries may easily be imported into the system.
